Here is another set of photos from my last visit to San Francisco. These two beautiful girls were a joy to photograph. I got some great smiles. Love the rich green grass against the bright pink of the little ones jacket and socks. So lovely!
I was so excited to see Bernice and Randy after so many years. Actually, 8 years since I photographed their wedding. They still look the same, and still so sweet and fun. They now have two addition to their family. The older daughter is so cute and very animated. I can tell how she loves being photographed and loves to talk and listen. It was so funny when towards the end of the session, she wanted photos by herself. The little one was cute as well. She gave us the cutest smiles. I'm so glad to have the honor of photographing the next generation.
When I first saw Antonio and Nico, I was surprised how tall they were. I've been photographing so many little people this past few weeks that I had forgotten that 15 and 13 year old tend to be much taller than me. They were two fantastic kids right from the start. We had a lot of laughs when I try to lean them this way and that. They are such great kids, very polite and had the most amazing smiles. The photos look fantastic.
Having to make three kids to sit still for photography is always a challenge. So I always forewarn the parents that it might not happen. It will not be your typical look at the camera and say cheese. Just like my three boys, these guys have their own personalities and very well behaved. The littlest one is my favorite. He was so cute. Just like his big brothers, he stood there for me and kept his attention on me while we talked and me clicking the camera shutter as quickly as I could. As you may have noticed, there are a couple of photos that I turned into a sepia-toned photo. I love color for my "urban sessions" but I couldn't help it with this one. It looks just perfect for these candid shots of the boys. See for yourself.
